Java Example - Read-Only Collection

Java Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the Collections.unmodifiableList() method of the Collection class to set a collection as read-only:

Main.java File

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;

public class Main {
   public static void main(String[] argv) 
   throws Exception {
      List stuff = Arrays.asList(new String[] { "a", "b" });
      List list = new ArrayList(stuff);
      list = Collections.unmodifiableList(list);
      try {
         list.set(0, "new value");
      } 
        catch (UnsupportedOperationException e) {
      }
      Set set = new HashSet(stuff);
      set = Collections.unmodifiableSet(set);
      Map map = new HashMap();
      map = Collections.unmodifiableMap(map);
      System.out.println("Collection is now read-only");
   }
}

The output of the above code is:

Collection is now read-only
